ONCE UPON A TIME

Once upon a time a poet was seen 
wandering around a heath
He had nothing but a note book and a pencil in his hand
There was no one else there but him.
No sound, no noise, no whisper...

He walked Contemplating philosophical thoughts of mortality,
 Birth,
 Nothingness,
 Cunning,
 The meaning of things
, Nothingness again,
 Death.

Than all of a sudden,
 appeared a flock of colorful birds chirping,
 chirping...
Flying and chirping
Singing ghazals, melodious ancient songs.
Though he didn't speak their language
 He was fascinated by the birds
 And understood their songs

He quickly in a furious and ferocious hurry
 Started to jot down their songs in the note book
Fearing they will fly away 
As fast and as suddenly as they came...

These are the lyrics the birds sang 
 Fom the dead poet's notebook.
